What does everyone think of it?
I like the name but never met anyone with it.

I know one. His name suits him.

Sorry, I'm too middle class for it.

Nooooooo!!!! Don't do it.

I wouldn't call a child 'Tyler' any more than I would call him 'Plumber' or 'Mechanic'.

I like Tyler but prefer Taylor but that's more unisex Confused I love the nickname Ty too.

AnyoneButLulu · 29/08/2013 23:36

It's not generally associated with the higher socio-economic classifications. Entirely up to you whether you give a fig about that.

I'm NOT a fan of KH but this name has now become one which is now associated with Chantelle.....

No

I love the name Tyler.

Writerwannabe83 · 29/08/2013 22:24

I've never though of Tyler as being a chavvy or a trashy name, I really like it Smile

I'm working in Canada at the moment and this name came up recently as a Chinese colleague wants to pick a Western and a Chinese name for his DC, and had Tyler on his possible list. The Canadian-born colleagues immediately reacted that he shouldn't pick it as it is a bit 'trailer trash'... I don't know if it has the same perception in all of North America though, or back in Britain, as I've never met one back home.

My 14 ds1 is Tyler

testedpatience · 29/08/2013 15:51

I like it and dont understand all of this hype and prejudice over names.

I certainly wouldnt raise an eyebrow at it but then again one of mines a Riley which seems to produce the image of a young, fag smoking whilst pushing buggy, screeching motherGrin

Thesimplethings · 29/08/2013 15:49

But what label? Hmm

lilibet · 29/08/2013 15:47

No, sorry but please do not do this. Rightly or wrongly people will judge and label you and your son.

Thesimplethings · 29/08/2013 15:47

I have a Tyler, suits him down to the ground. I don't get the prejudice about the name

xJadex · 29/08/2013 15:42
